How about we take them ALL in exchange so we don't have to give ManU any money ... and we keep Zaha on loan for a year?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Chelsea wont be letting Reece James or Mason Mount go anywhere.

I still think Batsuiyi is a possible, and Bakayoko is an interesting one.

Wages would be immense though.

From what i read, that Bakayoko cost a lot of money and they'd want to sell for over 40 million. WHICH DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER IS WORTH 40 MILLION IN A TEAM OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 6?? EVER?

Not even Kante cost that much when playing for Leicester.

I think Batshuayi is going to arrive after the Chelsea pre-season. They'll keep Giroud and Tammy Abraham as center forwards. Our club already knows Bats, had hom here and will probablybsurprise us inbthe last week of transfers. If they pull it off on loan it's just postponing thebinevitable though: there's some crazy 40 million+ going tonhave to bebpaid. I like Bats, but I've seen some good deals done this summer for even better center forwards for much less (Embolo, Aleksandr Isak, Kownacki).

The right Reece James is also crazy expensive at around 20 million. Plenty of right backs available for up to 5 million.

Mason Mount will not be leaving, he'll be a big part of their midfield, maybe even a starter. I mean, come one, he's just come from working with Lampard, he's not gonna let him go.

I don't know that much about Dujon Sterling or Charlie Brown. I've watched some Chelsea U21 matches last year as they made it to the final of the Champions League and I really liked the Dutch center forward Daishawn Redan, who went to Hertha for 2.5 million this summer. He's really young now, but one to keep an eye out for.
Also from their U21 team, Dutch left back Juan Castillo was finishing his contract this summer. He was free. He could have been taken by anyone !! In the end, they gave him a new contract and he accepted, but I think he would have chosen to come to a smaller PL team if given some assurances that he'd feature at least in a small way or have perspectives of making the first team.

Kennedy didn't really impress me in the PL, but he would be a possibility in thebfuture. Not right now to be included in the Zaha deal, as they rate Kennedy at more than 10 million and that's just overrated, even if it's just a loan withban option to buy. There are better left footed midfileders out there.

If they want Zaha, just pay the money. The club will put them to better use than just taking players from Chelsea.

So you would rather buy Batshayi for £40 than loan him for a season?

Are you sure?

I just do not see the logic of Chelsea were to release Bats. They’d be left with Giroud and Abraham. Surely there’s next to zero chance Bats leaves

yes.

i think if he was our player and playing full seasons you would get a double digit goal scorer. with todays prices 40m is good for a double digit goal scorer.

Paying £40 would not leave very much for any other signings,if we had him on loan for a season we could be sure if we wanted him or not.
This is all probably academic anyway, we wont buy or loan

So Batsuayi not even on the bench for Chelsea today.

He is wasting his time there.

If Chrlsea come in for Zaha, then get him and James.

Christ didn't think our finances were that bad!!
